Ready for one more Game Boy Color system before it's overtaken by the Advance?

By IGN Staff

Jealous that Japanese gamers can get their hands on one of the coolest colors of the Game Boy Color? We've been hearing it as a rumor for quite a while now, but it seems Nintendo's actually going to release the limited edition Gold & Silver Game Boy Color system in the US sometime next month.

The Gold & Silver Edition Game Boy Color ¿ at least the one in Japan ¿ isn't much more than a regular Game Boy Color system with a special casing. Depending on the angle you hold it in the light, the casing can be either a gold or silver color...a very neat effect. The unit is sold as the Limited Edition Pokémon Center Game Boy Color, at the exact same price as other colored Game Boy Color systems in Japan.

While Nintendo representatives couldn't confirm nor deny the details by publish time today, our information comes from Electronics Boutique's release list, where the Gold & Silver Game Boy Color is listed with a March 7th release date for a retail price of $69.99. Chances are good that the one Nintendo may release in the US will be the same model as the Pokémon Center Edition ¿ minus the Pokémon Center logo at the bottom.
